Potty Training Boot Camp

Well, we are back in potty training boot camp, and we are making good progress! She still understands all about going to the potty, and we are slowly overcoming her reluctance again. So, I have a little nudie tudie around here again for our re-immersion into potty training. Thank heavens she loves being read to, that is making all the difference on the potty :) .  Sometimes I hear her calling me, and she is already on the potty by herself, she just wants me to come and read to her while she is doing her business.

We don’t discipline for not going on the potty or for going on the floor (though sometimes it seems tempting), because we don’t want to develop ‘potty fear’, we want to keep going on the potty a positive learning experience, and something fun that we do together as a family.

Is it harder to potty train boys?  Both of our girls have been trained before the age of two thankfully!

Welcome!
